new paper, led by @nkolarik.bsky.social: monitoring outcomes of ecological restoration is challenging. Satellite imagery could help, but interpretation requires statistics that can identify breakpoints in messy time-series data. We provide a practical guide: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Conservation easements target high quality riparian and wetland ecosystems in the Western US, but don't necessarily improve them or reduce development. 🌐🧪🔬 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Conservation easements target high quality lands but do not increase their quality
Conservation programs targeted at private lands are essential for conserving biodiversity and mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change…

A closer look at the extent of sea ice globally that just set a new all-time record minimum, which is due to unusually low sea ice conditions in both the #Arctic & #Antarctic right now. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_... 🧪⚒️🥼❄️
Line graph time series of 2025's daily global sea ice extent in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2024 using shades of purple to white for each line for between the months of January and April. The year 2023 is also highlighted in yellow, which was the current absolute record low previously. There is substantial interannual and daily variability.

Excited to have had the opportunity to work on #scicomm skills and discuss how we rely on #earthobservations to provide quantitative evidence of #conservation impacts with our community.

Stoked to have contributed to this work along with @trevorcaughlin.bsky.social led by @pyroscientist.bsky.social! She demonstrates how to integrate data sources to make maps that identify various built infrastructure types and improve upon existing datasets spatially, temporally, and thematically.

Causal Inference With Observational Data and Unobserved Confounding Variables
As ecology tackles progressively larger problems, we are moving beyond the scales at which randomised controlled experiments are feasible. Using observational data for causal inference raises the pro...
